This a special edition of the 10th Anniversary of the Trans Am released in 1979 well known as the Silver Anniversary Edition. The car is limited production, total 7500 ever made and only 1817 of which has equipped with the Pontiac 400 engine and this one of them. Is said still like new condition, it could be one remarkable sample of the Pontiac 400 Trans Am 10th Anniversary edition still runs and drives very well today only 7200 miles on it.
I'm selling my 1979 Pontiac Trans Am - Silver Anniversary Edition which has been in our family since it was purchased new. Only around 2500 of these still around in drivable condition based on Trans Am clubs info. Here's some more info about this car:
In 1979, Pontiac released the 10th Anniversary Pontiac Trans Am to commemorate the 10th Anniversary of the first Trans Am that rolled off the line in 1969. This was a limited production run of only 7500 Trans Ams. Really, the only options that were available on the 10th Anniversary Trans Am was the powertrain options. You had your choice of either the Pontiac 400 with the 4-Speed transmission, or the Olds 403 with the automatic transmission. Out of the 7500 production cars, 1,817 were equipped with the 400/4-speed combo, and 5,683 were equipped with the 403/auto combo. Standard on the 10th Anniversary was the two-tone silver and charcoal paint. This paint scheme was accented by a special 5 color hood-bird which wings extended over the hood and onto the side fenders. The body of the car was also outlined in a special black and red stripe package much like the "Special Edition" striping of the earlier Special Edition Trans Ams. There were also special badges (decals) that were placed on the car signifying the 10th Anniversary Edition. All of the 10th Anniversary cars were nicely equipped with the WS6 handling package, custom silver interior with "shag" carpet and the Firebird emblem embroidered in the door panels and also in the rear seat back. Also standard on all 10th Anniversary Trans Ams were power windows, power locks, Air Conditioning, power trunk release.... in sort, pretty much every option available at the time. Also, the interior was also trimmed with a special "Engine-turned" gear shift bezel that went nicely with the dash, which for this model was illuminated red instead of the normal white gauges. You really can't tell in the day, but at night it gives a whole new feel and look to the inside. The T-tops were also a special mirrored finish instead of the drab "smoked" finish of T-tops seen previously. The 10th Anniversary Trans Am was also the first time you saw the "Turbo" wheels seen on later Special Edition Turbo, Pace Car, and other Turbo Trans Ams. All-in-All, this wasn't your ordinary "run-of-the-mill" Trans Am. Just about everything on this car was taken to the next level to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of this popular Muscle car.
This car is in great condition with only 7000 original miles on it. I'm asking $50,000. Muscle Car magazine valued this car at over $50000 last year and if you have been watching Barrett-Jackson you probably have seen these go for $70~150,000. The original Smoky and the Bandit Trans Am just sold for $550,000 (http://news.boldride.com/2016/02/smokey-and-the-bandit-pontiac-trans-am-auction/98732/). Seems these cars are just continuing to go up in value. I may consider a partial trade for any of the following:
• 15~21 windows VW Bus
• VW Double Cab truck
• BMW airhead motorcycle pre 1969
• 1975 Norton Commando 850
• 4 door Jeep Wrangler
